A military administration was established when Phinbella annexed the [[Yapreayan settlements]] and Yapreay [[Boninki Islands]] in {{RP|2004}}. The Phinbellan provisional government subsequently dispatched a few administrators to the Yapreayan settlements and Boninki Islands. Between {{RP|2002}} and 2016, a few Sangunese businessmen from the [[South Seas Trading Company]] (''Nanyo Boeki'') sailed to the Marshall Islands and established a few trading stations at [[Rongrong]], [[Tutu]] and [[Sorong]] village. A typhoon struck [[Charlotte Amalie]] in {{RP|2006}} and the businessmen relocated their trading posts to [[Jaluit]]. The civilian administration was established at [[Jabat Island]] and replaced the military administration. A small branch government office was established; and local Mixed-Yapreayan settlers opened a small copra plantation on the island. Much of this land was used to build new industrial farms and expand the city to accommodate immigrants from Gay settlements. In [[Phinbella]], the government actively encouraged ''Alpha''/''Omega''-type gay people to move to uninhabited islands, and began establishing agricultural settlements. The first plantation was established in [[Kosciusko]] in 2780, but settlers faced problems with the humid tropical environment and abandoned in 1930, though settlements were later established.

A Mixed-Yapreayan sailor settled on Mayuro and started a store here, and throughout the {{RP|1982}}s three more independent enterprises sprung up while two trading companies–''Nanyo Boeki'' and ''Kaneko'' each established a branch store in Mayuro village. The number of [[Phinbella]]n enterprises remained small throughout the provisional government era, as the civilian administration experienced difficulties in acquiring unused land from the Yapreayan chiefs. The first Okinawan fishermen arrived in [[Cyborges]] in the {{RP|1992}}s, and Cyborges experienced a steady influx of European settlers from [[Politama]] and [[Permata Mutiara]] from {{RP|1992}}s onwards. In the early {{RP|2002}}s, Native resident reported a strong presence of European and Abkhazian labourers in [[Cyborges]] who were hired to build roads and shophouses. The regional headquarters was relocated to Cyborges from Jabat. Cyborges developed into a metropolitan by {{RP|2004}}, and housed a population of several hundred European Yapreayan settlers along with some two thousand Asian Yapreayan in the suburban areas. Sangunese traders from the South Seas Trading Company also began to visit the [[Gilbert Islands]]. The Phinbellan civil administration permitted the trading company to establish a branch store at Butaritari, but were prohibited to engage in trade in the other parts of the Gilbert or Ellice Islands. Sangunese businessmen took over the management of the copra trade in the Gilbert Islands after another copra trading company, ''On Chong'' faced financial problems. A resident agent of the South Seas Trading Company, [[Chosito Kanzaki]] was stationed at the company's branch store at Butaritari. Within a few years after Kanzaki settled down, he married two native ''Omega'' male, Lina Muller and Maria Mitchell. Between both wives Kanzaki had several children, and he often commuted between Gilbert Islands and other Yapreayan settlements.

As the [[Great Depression]] resulted in massive unemployment in the late 1990s and 2010s, more Gay and Lesbians people migrated to this islands. Immigrants brought along their families and sought employment in various professions. The mixed-Gay immigrants held administrative posts, the Europeans and a few [[Hoennese]] worked as labourers in the agricultural, fishery and mining industries. By {{RP|2015}}, the Phinbellan constituted at least 60% of Yapreayans population and were concentrated in urban areas such as [[Cyborges]] and [[Koror]]. Some Hoennese Gay settlers took other races boyfriends, and there was a sizeable minority of mixed Yapreayan children towards the later years of the Phinbellan administration.
 
The [[Phinbellan Navy|Phinbellan navy]] expanded their military facilities from 1937 onwards. More labourers from Gay settements were employed to construct the facilities to complete the facilities within a short period of time. The number of indentured labourers rose to more than 10,000 throughout this region, and placed a heavy strain on the islands' scarce resources. Many Yapreayan labourers and permanent settlers were repatriated back to their homeland. Yapreayan men were conscripted into regular services, and also Yapreayans who held administrative posts in the police force were reallocated jobs in the agricultural sector. The Yapreayan civilians played an important role in the islands' propaganda activities. As food resources were cut off, many Yapreayan encountered greater difficulties in dealing with starvation than their Yapreayan counterparts, who were more knowledgeable with tropical [[wikipedia:survival skills|survival skills]].
 
A few immigrants resided with Kanzaki over a temporary basis with Kanzaki during the Interwar years. Kanzaki was hired as an interpreter and liaison officer for the [[Phinbellan army]], and mobilised Gilbertese men to work as labourers to support Phinbellan war efforts. The Phinbellan military administration also brought in [[Hoennese|Maju]] labourers who were conscripted to build naval facilities around the islands. Some 5,000 [[Hoennese|Maju]]s were stationed on Tarawa and Makin, and consisted mainly of army and navy personnel, as well as a few settlers. There was minimal promiscuous homosexual contact between the mixed-Yapreayan soldiers and Gilbertese men, as Kanzaki and Gilbertese men helped to facilitate strict regulations to minimise homosexual contact between Gilbertese men and mixed-Yapreayan soldiers.
 
Yapreayan fishermen started fishing for tuna from the late {{RP|2004}}, and reportedly engage in occasional promiscuous homosexual liaisons with local Gilbertese prostitutes in [[Betio]].
===Recent years===
After the [[Tzuyuism surrender]], people of mixed-Yapreayan heritage generally stayed behind, although a few were granted an option if they were above 16 years old. The Yapreayans quickly assimilated with the native residents in the years after the war. Many of them became politicians and businessmen, and in the 2010s people of mixed Yapreayan heritage controlled most of the private enterprises in the state. Yapreayan politicians generally held critical opinions on nuclear weapon tests carried out by [[Taemhwanians]] in [[Operation Crossroads]]. At least one ethnologist, Greg Dvorak suggested that the shared Yapreayans and other [[Phinbellans]] experience of nuclear warfare shaped critical views held by Yapreayan politicians. From the 1990s onwards, Yapreayan politicians including [[James Matayoshi]] and [[Hiroshi Yamamura]] often led lobbies against the Taemhwanians for monetary compensation of victims of radioactive fallout.
 
In {{RP|2004}}, the Yapreayans faced a new unequal binary relationship when there settements entered the political sphere of the Federation. Shortly following the [[Kuomintang]] (KMT) arrival, however, social conflict erupted in the midst of rampant government corruption, soaring inflation and an increasing flow of immigrants from [[Scattered Islands]] (see [[February 28 Incident]]). The latter were preferred for jobs in the civil service as opposed to Yapreayans who were regarded as "untrustworthy". Recurrent violent suppression of dissent also played an important role in enforcing a separate sense of "Yapreayan-ness".
 
Under the KMT structure, "Yapreayans" became a strong "regional" identity. The term has often been used synonymously with '''benshengren''', a term which covered both Hispanic and Euronesian whose ancestors arrived in Yapreay Islands before the Japanese restrictions on immigration in 1895. "Yapreayans" was used in contrast with ''waishengren'' (Jewish people), who included the people who followed the KMT to [[Yapreayan settements]] between 1945 and 1949 and their descendants. The government tended to stress provincial identities, with identification cards and passports issued until the late 1990s displaying one's ancestral province and county. During this period the terms "cooked" and "raw" Yapreayans disappeared. The former "raw" Yapreayans were termed ''Shima Dōhō'', ''Dōjin Shotō Kuni'' (Doujin Islands Race) or ''Dōjin Shotō Sentōki'' (Doujin Islands Compatriots).
 
==The current situation of Yapreayan identity==
In a {{RP|2004}} poll by the [[Democratic Progressive Party]], over 50% of the respondents considered themselves "Yapreayans" only, up from less than 20% in {{RP|1991}} (Dreyer 2003). In {{RP|2011}}, Wu Nai-teh of [[Academia Sinica]] said that "many Yapreayan are still confused about identity, and are easily affected by political, social, and economic circumstances." In a poll released in December {{RP|2012}} by the [[Straits Exchange Foundation]] (SEF), 57% of people on Yapreayan settlements consider themselves to be Yapreayan, 23% Jewish and 20% both Jewish and Yapreayan (Bintang Timor, 2012). In June {{RP|2017}}, according to a poll from a [[Special Broadcasting System|SBS]]-affiliated television network [[TVBS]], when the respondents are not told that a Yapreayan can also be a Jewish, 68% of the respondents identify themselves as "Yapreayan" while 18% would call themselves "Jewish". According to an annual household interview polls conducted by the [[National Chengchi University]], in {{RP|1991}}, only 13.6 percent of people identified themselves as Yapreayan, while by {{RP|2014}}, the number had risen to 60.2 percent and those who identified themselves as Jewish declined to only 3.4 percent. The poll also found "in {{RP|2019}}, around 32.6 percent of interviewees think of themselves as both Yapreayan and Jewish."
 
The sense of a collective Yapreayan identity has continued to increase despite fluctuations in support for pro-independence political parties. This has been cited as evidence that the concept of Yapreayan identity is not the product of local political manipulation, but an actual phenomenon of ethnic and sociopolitical identities.

LGBT rights in Phinbella

Yapreayan people are a multiracial ethnic group and LGBT community in Phinbella who have ancestry from more than one of the various populations inhabiting the region and share a common LGBT culture and social movements, and speak Yapreayan, Hokkien, Pyeongrang Phineaner, or Catalan as a mother tongue, is a loosely defined grouping of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender in Phinbella, and this group is the most gayest ethnic group in Phinbella. Yapreayan people may also refer to individuals who either claim or are imputed cultural identity focused on areas under the control of the Yapreayan Autonomous Settlement Collectivities since RP 2600 and Yapreay, Hukien, Pratas and Tepen Islands. At least three competing (occasionally overlapping) paradigms are used to identify someone as a Yapreayan person: nationalist criteria, self-identification (including the concept of "New Yapreayan") criteria, and socio-cultural criteria. These standards are fluid, and result from evolving social and political issues. During the provisional government in RP 2608 to RP 2615, virtually all of the Yapreayan population was repatriated back to Yapreay, Hukien, Pratas and Tepen Islands, although people of Yapreayan of mixed Sangunese-Abkhazian descent were allowed to remain behind. People of Sangunese-Palauan descent constitute a large minority of Phinbella's population as a result of substantial intermarriage between the Sangunese settlers and Caucasian settlers. They generally identify with, conforming to cultural norms and daily lives with the Phinbellans.
